2027 Top 50: Who Will Skyrocket This Year

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the class of 2027, countless underrated prospects have come up huge this summer. Despite being in the top 50, I believe some of these guys can easily climb their way up to the top. With an increase in volume and production, all five of the hoopers on my list have elevated their game to new heights. Let's talk about it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2397454"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d31a7d0040c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2397454' first='Patrick' last='Hahn'] is a hooper who will get you a bucket on all three levels on offense. Hahn is a difficult assignment for any defender as he can attack the rim at will and convert on difficult shots across the floor. What impresses me most about Hahn's style of play is his ability to change pace and make defenses wonder what he'll do next. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2394018"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d31a7d0049c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2394018' first='Bodhi' last='Barnett'] is the fifth-ranked forward in his class due to his space creation and shot-making abilities. Barnett is as versatile as it gets, slashing through his matchup and making the most of open looks. Defending the paint comes easily for the 6'6 wing, elevating to contest shots and recognizing when to rotate over to the help side. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2592262"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d31a7d00500"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2592262' first='Cooper' last='Ellwood'] is a hooper who impressed me right off the bat in the first game I watched him. Ellwood's acceleration on offense is superb, along with his deep finishing bag that he utilizes to score at will. Fundamentally well-rounded, Ellwood is dynamic off the pick and roll, able to locate his big man and rack up plenty of assists each game. Rock Canyon has a legitimate PG1 who will dominate this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2387454"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d31a7d00546"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2387454' first='Jayden' last='Kramer'] is one of the shiftiest guards in the state.

Look for Kramer to carry this momentum at Smoky Hill in the coming months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2416629"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68d31a7d00585"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2416629' first='Wyatt' last='Carpender'] is a well-rounded big man with impressive footwork in the post.

Blocking shots is the norm for him, and securing rebounds on both ends of the ball is what Carpender specializes in. Able to earn a plethora of trips to the free throw line, Carpender's grit and toughness make him one of the best centers in his class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
